Champagne for Cèzanne. Chateaubriand, who has twice been a Senator and is now Brazil's Ambassador to the Court of St. James's, is famed for his sudden impulses. In 1946 Chatô met a visiting Italian art critic, Pietro Maria Bardi, embraced him joyfully and said: "You must make a museum for me." Almost at once, new Museum Director Bardi moved into the unfinished 34-story headquarters of Chateaubriand's Associated Dailieschain, found the great new Museum of Art in Sao Paulo hailed in headlines while there was still nothing to show...
...opera: Medea is on stage for 80 of the opera's 105 minutes, and during most of that time she is singing strenuously. But Medea also has its great moments, and it provides an ideal vocal showcase for a dramatic soprano. In the last five years, Maria Callas has virtually made the role over in her own fiery image (she will sing it again in November with the Dallas Civic Opera).

...villa near a frontier in a European country," Maria Golovin unfolds a romance between Maria, whose husband is a war prisoner abroad, and Donato, a returned soldier blinded in the (undated) war. Donato at first seeks mere companionship with Maria. He sings: "May I touch your face? My touch is as harmless as a glance." But within a month they are lovers. Blinded further by jealousy, Donato visualizes imagined rivals. "When I had my eyes, I could close them and find peace. Now I imagine things. I see things." His love turns into hate, first suicidal, then homicidal...
